By Kim | Season 1 | Episode 17 | Aired on 04.19.1999
Musical montage. Julie lies on her bed and glances at the clock, which reads 1:35 AM. Ben is in the bar, drinking with Lynn. Sean and Chloe walk down the street together happily. Elena and Felicity walk down the hall in the dorm and run into Noel. Elena asks who his target is. Noel says he has Felicity. Elena says that they have to shoot each other. Elena asks them both, as a friend, to raise their guns, because it will be therapeutic for them both. Noel warns, "Elena." Elena tells them that they're both disqualified and walks off. Noel asks Felicity if they should go talk, and Felicity agrees.
Felicity and Noel walk into Noel's room. Awkward pause. For, like, ten minutes. Finally, Noel says, "Look, last night? That's not what I wanted to happen. I was a little drunk." Felicity says that she hates everything about this. Noel says that he does, too, and he can't stop thinking that he waited for Felicity to get over her feelings for Ben, and it was the easiest thing he's ever done, but Felicity couldn't even wait one night for Noel when he was confused about Hannah. Okay, the difference is that Felicity never asked Noel to wait for her to get over Ben, and they weren't in a relationship then anyway. Felicity carefully weighs her words and says it sounds like Noel was testing her. Noel says that it wasn't a test, but he never thought...he stops before he digs himself a deeper hole. Felicity says that she never thought she'd do that either. Noel admits that he did something wrong, too, and he knows it, but when it came time to make a decision, he stopped, and maybe he should be able to forgive Felicity, but he can't. Felicity looks down at the floor, then says that he just left with Hannah, and she doesn't know if she can forgive him either. You go, Felicity! Noel stares at her, then looks down and says he guesses they are breaking up. Felicity softly says, "I guess so." The camera switches to a shot from outside the window, showing Noel and Felicity sitting far apart, not looking at each other.
